Hi List,
i'm experiencing some very weird problems with the Gimp-installer. First off, this is my packages.xml-entry for the Gimp:
<package
id="gimp26"
name="GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP)"
revision="2605"
reboot="false"
priority="20">
<check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="GIMP 2.6.5"/>
<install cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\gimp\gimp-2.6.5-i686-setup.exe" /VERYSILENT /NORESTART /DIR="%PROGRAMFILES%\GIMP"'/>
<upgrade cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\gimp\gimp-2.6.5-i686-setup.exe" /VERYSILENT /NORESTART /DIR="%PROGRAMFILES%\GIMP"'/>
<remove cmd='"%programfiles%\GIMP\setup\unins000.exe" /VERYSILENT /NORESTART' />
</package>
When i try to install the package the installer exits with return code 1, which indicates, that the initialiazation of the installer failed.
And that's about all the info i can get from wpkg, even with the highest debug level.
Now i made two very strange observations:
1. When i issue the install-cmd by hand it works like a charm (and this is not due to some undefined variables as i use them in other packages too).
2. when i delete the "/dir" option from the install-cmd it also works which would indicate that there actually _is_ something wrong with the %PROGRAMFILES%-variable.
I then double-checked by adding an additional install-cmd which just writes the contents of the variable to a tempfile and confirmed that it containes "C:\Programme" (w/o the quotes).
I searched the archives but found nothing helpfull. Has anyone any idea what could cause this?
Regards,
Alexander

Hello Alexander,
which release of WPKG do you use?
You should use v1.1.1, since 1.1.0 introduced some strange behavior.
